Main stream news media has been blatantly supporting Obama, so of course they are not going to show the reality of how Americans are thinking about the Obama administrations failures to do anything they said they would do. The fact that the main stream media cannot predict an absolute win for Obama is indicative of the fact that they just can't bring themselves to make claims that will show them in a negative light when Obama loses.

When Las Vegas oddsmakers put their money on a candidate, as I have linked to above, "THAT'S" when you can count on a prediction.

I could go back and find a number of posts that would make these comments look benign by comparison.

It's not so much the name calling but the constant antagonizing. Everyone has the right to post here. You said it yourself. And yet when others post their thoughts on Obama, you attack them calling it dribble. If others don't make a bet with you there is no truth to what they say. As if that qualifies what they say. You got your 15 min. of fame at the top of this forum. Let it go.
You have your opinion. Others have theirs.
But we don't need this type of antagonizing rhetoric here.

To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.

You're arguing that its better to replace a cold with terminal Cancer. (Analogy)

BTW I have the answers.

Answer me this then Mr Wizard. Why is the European situation getting worse when the prescription to their ills was austerity?

I know they had years of "socialism" but why doesn't this tough love budget cutting bring about prosperity? Things are only getting worse there and if they keep cutting countries like England will most likely go back into a recession.

Thanx for the compliment,your catching on.

First Austerity wasn't meant to instantly turn their economy around, it was meant to stop the collapse of their economies.

Second all the austerity policies in the world cant help them. They spent and borrowed their way into Oblivian.

Kinda like Obamas doing now. They're Socialist with little exports.

Its time to face the music.

You see Countries "borrow" by selling bonds with a return. Banks and investors buy them.

It's the value of the bonds and who owns them that liberals like ti ignore when they say a huge ever expanding debt isn't a big deal.

Or Obamas cleaning up Bushs mess by threatening to crash the US Treasury by adding 6 trillion to our debt.

I believe I would go to an actual online betting site if I wanted to see what the bookmakers....or oddsmakers are thinking. Wayne Allyn Root... while he might have done some sports handicapping years ago is not a good source for odds whatevering the presidential race seeing as he hates obama with a passion.

Someone go to an actual online betting site and see what they are saying. My lunch is almost over and I cant be dilly dallying around here.

Thanks for the explanation about bonds, I never would have guessed. So we agree growth is needed. How does cutting the deficit increase growth? Modern economic theory is based on the three legged stool, government sector, private sector and foreign sector. What is a liability for one is an asset for another. So given that, where does the growth come from in the private sector of America if foreign markets are at a standstill and government is cutting back?

Growth is stagnant because those who are the engine of growth ( Investors, Corporations and Small Bussinesmen ) are holding back.

Rather than risk their capital in a economy thats unstable and that lacks confidence they will park it in CDs or Treasuries.

Something safe.

Net I really think people are waiting for tomorrows conclusion and growth will either shoot up acutely or remain stagnant or shrink.

Thats the fatal flaw in Obamas economic policies. Or any policy that endorses the raising of taxes to increase growth.

He cant FORCE anyone to spend or invest their money. He can increaes taxes by letting tax cuts expire but thats going to spook investors and the "rich" even more.

That would equal a drop in the GDP and a even faster shrinking of the economy as middle class Americans struggle to make ends meet.

Balancing the budget and reducing the debt is just a result of sound fiscal policies and doesn't nessecarily with the exception of injecting confidence in the market produce growth.

The more debt (US BONDS) we buy the closer we get to a ratings drop on our CDs. ( Yes WE, not China own most of our debt )

As our credit rate drops we have to inxrease bond yields to investors to keep the borrowed money coming.

To make the Treasuries seem like a safe choice. People dont buy them for profit.

If Bonds dry up then were printing money to pay for everything as the taxes only cover so much.
